Extract

General paralysis of the insane was first described by Haslam in 1798, thus its recognition is now a century old; and although an enormous amount of labour has been devoted to the search for the essential cause of this disease—perhaps the most fatal to which human flesh is heir—opinion is yet far from unanimous as to its origin. There is no doubt that the view that syphilis is the prime cause finds most favour at the present time; but in view of the want of uniformity of opinion on this matter, I have felt that a serious attempt to arrive at a definite conclusion would be welcomed by the alienists of this country. Such an attempt might at least help to clear the ground for future investigation.
